Columbus, Ohio - With one day of competition under their belts, the Nebraska rifle team is sitting in seventh place overall at the NCAA Championships. The Huskers fired a 2,297 on the smallbore range on Friday at Ohio State University. Defending national champions TCU led all teams in the first day of competition, posting a team score of 2,317.

Nebraska was paced by a career-high effort of 583 from Denise Martin, enabling the freshman to break into NCAA smallbore finals. Martin earned a fifth-place finish in finals, posting a 680.9 overall.
